The debates are stereotypical..Voters do not really selflessly analyse. It is not "this candidate might be good for us because..". It is "let me tell you what my personal choice is, how I see the future through this candidate and don't forget to pay tribute to me when my choice wins". The hyper individuality, without individual voters actually contributing to progress at all. Rhetorics. Seems to be the reason this political show is so popular because it gives everybody a platform, without people trying to get info first before they are heard. They just feel important because anybody can comment on a messed up hairdo or facial grimases of candidates. There is so little politics in all this...no info, no actual plan. Getting trained in rhetorics early in high school is great. Everybody has an opinion and it must be heard, right? However, there is very little actual content. Substance. It shrinks to "I must be heard". The real opinions based on honest reflection are drowned out. Those don't entertain enough or remind people something serious that a propper show shouldn't be spoilt with. I feel the presidential campaign is so close to those fake wrestling events, ugh.

What would Hillary actually do after the election?
She must be so grateful to Trump because she would never become president when there would be another candidate.

Until the votes are counted, I'm not counting any chickens. But right now, if HRC is really leading in ARIZONA, I think Trump (thank God!) is in big trouble.

There's an alternate universe where Clinton is campaigning against someone like Ted Cruz and we are having a vigorous debate of the actual issues. It's possible that in that universe, Cruz would be leading. Since we don't live in such a universe, we'll never know.

When SNL starts doing parodies on political candidates, their fate's been sealed. Goodbye, Mr. Trump, and thanks for the entertainment. Go back to your fake golden Trump buildings and Chinese-made Trump products. As an experiment, what about building a wall around one of your buildings to keep illegal Mexican immigrants out? Now that would be free marketing for your corporation!

this is why serious discussion regarding American politics is so difficult, very few people actually have the foggiest notion as to how the system is intended to work.

So lets see, the Clinton budgets are in blue, the accounting is done on a cash basis which actually makes it more difficult to manipulate as there re fewer moving parts so to speak, are you with me so far.

Clinton pushed through large tax increases in the early years despite the Republicans, which are evident in the later years of his presidency since the are accounting on a cash basis. Indeed could be argued that Bush's first budget year also benefited from it to some extend.
